If you'd care to set your watches for London time, the time is currently 12.28am." The passengers nearest me didn't understand why I snickered. Jaye. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 16:38:09 -0700 From: "jerezfino@y......." <jerezfino@y.......> Subject: Re: An FK Moment Phoenix <phoenix@s.......> wrote: If you'd care to set your watches for London time, the time is currently 12.28am."

PN (Pat) Elrod (co-author with Nigel) and I are both guests this weekend at FenCon in Dallas. They are keeping me busy on numerous panels, so I won't be hard to find. Pat and I will be doing a "Stargate" panel Friday night at 10 p.m. (unless the schedule changes). If you are there, please come up, mention FK and say "hi!" We both love attention (free meals, being asked for our autographs, and all that sort of stuff).... www.fencon.org --Libs ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2007 18:14:42 -0700 From: Cassie <writinggirl01@y.......> Subject: My FK Moment A couple weeks ago, I was coming back from Austin picking up my pickup truck, when on the side of the road in a little town junkyard/garage I saw the most beautiful thing. I clearly saw a 1962 Caddy in real good shape peering at me from behind a couple of bushes as we sped down the highway. What even got me giggling was the color. I don't think Nick would've sold his car... Of course when my dad asked me what was so funny, I had told him what I had just seen and only mentioned Nick Knight's name. He didn't need any further explanation.

He came over for dinner the other night. I had a previously opened bottle of red wine that he said he pour out for us. Mind you, he doesn't watch FK, and hasn't ever done this before - but he pulled the cork out with his teeth and spit it on the counter!!! He then has no idea why I burst out laughing! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2007 00:52:36 -0500 From: Janette NatPack <natpackjanette@g.......> Subject: Re: My FK Moment They did sell off a lot of props when the show ended, including the car. In fact, I think there was more than one caddy. So, for all we know, it *could* have been Nick's actual caddy! -Janet(te) --- NatPack, despite the name ;-) There's too much blood in my caffeine stream On 9/19/07, Cassie <writinggirl01@y.......> wrote: > > I clearly saw a 1962 Caddy in real good shape peering at me from behind a > couple of bushes as we sped down the highway.

There was a big Stargate con in England a couple of years back; now I live there (here!) permanently, hopefully now I'll get the chance. Have a great time, Libs!
